Carpenter Ant (male)

Ah, I see.

Yes, I had followed the link and read the comment. I meant that you could still suggest an ID for the subgenus, or even genus to be safer.

I agree but if you go to the link in my comment an expert said that he ID'd it from it's association with the female. It could be a different species. I would suggest leaving it at genus level.

I think you've nailed the ID, Fyn! Feel free to suggest an ID. :-)

Looks similar to my male Camponotus novaeboracensis - http://bugguide.net/node/view/726359/bgi...
